4.3.3 MASTER TO SLAVE OPERATING CODES (CAMAC and VME)
The MASTER-to-SLAVE Operating Codes of the module N568B/LC have the following structure:
- Word 1 is a %1, Controller identified code;
- Word 2 is %XX, where XX is the Hexadecimal value of the front panel Decimal Station Number;
- Words 3 and 4 can be chosen according to Table 4.7.

4.4 SET
VALUES
Operating Code %10
; the allowed Fine Gain values are %0 to %FF.
Operating Code %11
; the allowed Coarse Gain values for each Channel are 0 to 7: each step
corresponds approximately to a doubling of the Coarse Gain value. Due to the dependence of the
Gain value from the Shaping Times and Input Signal Risetimes, it is meaningless to quote an absolute
Gain value setting (see §3.2.5). As an example, if the measured amplifier Gain (@ Coarse Set value
0, Fine Set value 0, Shaping time 0.2

value 4 with the same configuration on the other settings. Relative set Values are given as follows:
